Atlanta, March 27.—Within the
lust few days the political complexion
of affairs has undergone quite a
change incident to the publication of
the letters of Governor Boynton
to Governor Bullock. Up to
their publication a tide had set
in Boynton’s favor reaching
from the seaboard to the mountains
upon the idea that the people did not
desire any agitation or excitement,
and were wilting to allow Boynton
to 1111 out the untxpired term with*
out any special regard to his Illness.
Since then matters have changed and
from all parts of the state comes the
cheering words tiiat the democracy
is unwilling to reward a man with
the highest e fllee in their gift, when
he could or did remain neutral lie*'
l ween his people and federal
bayonets in the tr> ing days of 1805
and 1800 S nie men »ro willing to
forgive B yu: ior seeking office at
tbi bands of Bullock, and some do
not oLJu.1 1 v, Lis Laving beeu an
jigeut ol the infab.i'Us negro bureau,
but I have yet to And a
disinterested man but who condemns
in unmeasured terms his utterance
that he had not taken any stand as
between the political parlies in 1800
[t is a fact thut during the era of re-
u instruction there was not a woman
or child hut that took decided stands
against the crew that whs oppressing
our people. They prayed and worked
f. r the cause, and the feeling was so
great that social ostracism was Die
luw unto those who sided with our
enemies or “took uo sides.” How can
a Georgian expect office at the bands
of a people whom ho left to t heir fate
and look.ed on with calm indifference.
I think, however, that most of the
people will agree with a great and
distinguished Georgian visiting At
lanta, and whom I met Ibis morn*
ing. He declared that ‘‘Boynton’s
application to Bullock was clearly a
bid to turn radical if he could get the
( fllee, as evidenced by the fact that
all of his references were leading re
publicans; that his reference to his
holding the appointment as agent of
the l' reed men’s bureau was made to
show that he was a fit conscript for
the radical ranks, and that liis
declaration that he hud taken uo
stand as between his own people and
federal bayonets was infamous if
true.”
It seems to be settled that simply
because B >yntou and Bacon are pull
ing and scrouging for the place, is no
satisfactory reasou why the people
are obliged to take either oueof them.
There are plenty of true and tiied
men and far more capable, whom the
people can call to the front, and the
disposition seems to retire them both.
Senator H. I) McDaniel is gaining
ground every day, though he is not
working for the place. In a rtcent
letter he says: ‘‘There is no reason
that the people should not muketheir
own choice through the convention
without dictation, or that the merits
of many gentlemen should not. be
decorously discussed.” This is his
platform, and it is need!e*s to remind
the people that there is no man in
Georgia of more capacity, cleaner
r cord, stricter integrity, or more
trustworthy in every particular.
Judge M J. Crawford is being urged
to reconsider his decision amt al
low his Irsends to use his name
General Phil. Cook and Hou.W. E,
Smith, ol Albany, have warm friends
who will press tlieir claims. There
is plenty of material to select from
without being forced to choose be
tween Boynton or Bacon. A number
of counties are setling on this idea,
and are sending good men instructed,
and the consequence is, the Boynton
and Bacon camps are alarmed at the
turn tilings h°vp fakeu.

Washington, March 27.—Dor
sey’s examination as a witness in ti e
star route triul was resumed to-day.
A greater part of the time before re
cess was consumed by counsel
in disputing upon technical
points in regard to Dorsey’s checks
aud check hooks. Dorsey, whenever
he was allowed to proceed, contra
dicted RerdeU’s testimony in every
particular The entire efforts of the
witness and ids counsel were directed
to breaking down Iierdell. Wituers
denied ever having paid money to
Brady for any purpose at any time.
He also denied ever having written
lo Busier inviting him lo assume an
interest in the business. Kefening
to Btrdell’s statement, that lus
office had been broken open
while he was in jail and his
papers abstracted, Dorsey paid that
after It -nb II was released from jail
h»* (Dorsey) accompanied him to his
office, when* TI j pM1 packed up u
huddle of papet-, took them to wit-
nun-’hou*e, where they still remain
unopened. Witness said ho never
huil a key to Berdell’s office
aud never was in mat
< fflce while Rerdell was in jail.
Taking up Itsrdell’s story about the
affidavit extorted from him through
fear at Willard’s Hotel, witness said
that about, the date named, it retell
had attempted to blackmail Rosier,
but that statement, was stricken out
by order of the court. Witness de nied
broadly Berdell’s statement of
a con versa* ion at Willard’s
Uriel, and declared that
it was o black mailing scheme on the
part of IWdefi, who had threatened
to lave ]} icier indicted and to go
over to the government. Regarding
the a Iff luvit of June, 1881, which was
rend to him. witness denied that he
had inked Re id* 11 to make it for the
sake of his family, or that he had of
fered him any inducement.
A letter dated July 5, 1882. from
Rerdell to I) >rse y, was read by Inger-
soli. Rerdell writes that he has been
consbi* r.r.g the step he was about to
take for over a year. He had intend
ed to put himself in connection with
the government before he hud been
indicted, never dreaming that in* was
liable to indictment, because lie hud
"uly acted as an agent; but to
his eo- t he Miys be listened to Busier
and refrained from the course lie had
regretted ever since and something
ho w* uId not. do again for any eon-
‘ iiiera' on. As a consequence lie is
new penniless and will be under a
cloud no matt* r what the result of
the trial is. If he had stuck to the
gov* rnment liu would now be free
from Indictment, and perhaps in a
good position now. Again he had
made up his mind to go over
to tlic government. It ia useless for
Dtracy to appeal mi the uame of Ida
(iiuily, f*»r he (B rdell) also had a
family- He knows full well that
when D ir-ey and B >sb»r have no use
for him, he may to go to tlio devil for
all they care.
Xugersoll described the red account
books and wit cess said that lie never
saw such books iu any of bis offices.
Ut rdeli never gave or sent to him any
balance sheets from such books. Re
ferring to Reidell’s statement,
Hint he brought away books
from Now York, witness denied
that, lie had c ver seen such a book, or
that a book had been taken from tin;
New Y *rk office. The only books
kept by Rerdell by witness’ authority
were an expense book and route
bonk.
1 .gersoll requested witness to ex
plain how ho came to be
connected with the mail busi
ness. Ik* said that lie receive*!
n letter in 1879 from either John W.
Dorsey or l’eck. As a const qtience
of receiving that letter, witne-s em
ployed B 'one to act for Peek and
John W. D iisey personally. Witness
had not the slightest interest in the
world lu any contract or bid
f<*r mail service. A letter to
Citndoiiuin wnb read. Witness ad'
milted its authorship and was about
»o explain Ids motives for writing it,
when the prosecution objected. After
s'lirio argument the objection whs
overruled, but before witness could
proceed further, court adjourned.
